Answer:

The recipe did require 50 grams of cheese.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 60 percent extra cheese is used, therefore the given amount of cheese is 160% of recipe requirement. Or in other words, the given amount of cheese is 1.6 times the requirement.

80 grams = (1.6)(Recipe Requirement)

Recipe Requirement = 80/1.6 grams

<u>Recipe Requirement = 50 grams</u>
